The Turbo Principle in Joint Source Channel Decoding of Variable Length Codes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ’turbo’ principle has been widely applied to various detection/decoding problems in recent years. Here we show how the general idea can be extended to a communication scheme where a variable length code is used for data compression followed by a channel code to protect the data against channel errors. Iterations are performed between the channel decoder and the decoder for the variable length source code. Since the exchange of extrinsic information is essential for the performance of ’turbo’ decoding schemes we describe how EXIT-charts can be applied to predict the performance of the iterative source-channel decoding approach.

Joint Source-Channel Decoding of Variable-Length Codes with Soft Information: A Survey
Multimedia transmission over time-varying wireless channels presents a number of challenges beyond existing capabilities conceived so far for third-generation networks. Efficient quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning for multimedia on these channels may in particular require a loosening and a rethinking of the layer separation principle. In that context, joint source-channel decoding (JSCD) str...
متن کاملJoint Source and Channel Decoding for Variable Length Encoded Turbo Codes
Joint source and channel decoding (JSCD) has been proved to be an effective technique which can improve decoding performance by exploiting residual source redundancy. Most previous publications on this subject focus on a traditional coding scheme in which the source variable-length coding (VLC) is serially concatenated with a channel code. In this paper, a parallel concatenated coding scheme fo...

Introduction: Joint source-channel coding (JSCC) approaches have recently emerged as a good alternative to the strict application of Shannon’s source-channel separation principle for delay-constrained transmission scenarios. A subset of these techniques is given by joint source-channel decoding, where residual source redundancy increases the error-correction capability of the decoder [1, 2]. Es...
متن کاملThe Turbo Principle in Joint Source-Channel Coding
The turbo principle (iterative decoding between component decoders) is a general scheme, which we apply to joint source-channel decoding. As a realistic (e.g. speech parameter coding) example we discuss joint source-channel decoding for auto-correlated continuousamplitude source samples. At the transmitter the source samples are quantized and their indexes are appropriately mapped onto bitvecto...
متن کاملSequential Decoding for Mobile Receivers
Currently many classical detection and decoding algorithms receive new attention in mobile communications. Amongst those classics are low density parity check codes [1], concatenated codes [2], weighted decoding with log-likelihood values as well as soft-in/soft-out decoding as performed by the BCJR algorithm and its derivatives [4], [5]. All four classics show up as key elements in the so-call...
